A simplistic plugin that allows for the furthur customization of your category list. This will allow you to create a custom category list which will show the categories you want, and will hide the categories you do not want. For example, say you have a particular category you don’t want to be displayed named “Announcements”. You can use this plugin to display all of your other categories, except the category “Announcements”. You are not limited to just excluding one category; you can exclude multiple categories. Essentially, this plugin provides more functionality to your category list.

A small plugin to exclude WordPress generated image thumbnails from Updraft backups, saving space. The original, full-sized image is included in backups, so if a restoration from backup is needed, WP CLI or a plugin can be used to regenerate thumbnails using the original, full-size images.
Features:
<ul>
<li>Works for all image types and includes both native and custom image sizes added by themes and plugins.</li>
</ul>

I have been using your plugin for so long and never left a review. 

Thanks for this, changes my image-heavy backups of a couple of gigs to much less. Thanks again.
